Does The G-Spot Exist?

It was 1944 and German gynaecologist Ernst Gräfenberg had just discovered what was to become a woman’s best friend — the G-spot, named after him. It was a new erogenous zone, located somewhere in the vagina. But while crores of women say they’ve experienced the joy the G-spot brings, its existence is still in doubt.

This study says it doesn’tIn 2010, researchers at King’s College London claimed, there is no evidence of the existence of the G-spot. “This is by far the biggest study ever carried out and it shows fairly conclusively that the idea of a G-spot is subjective,” said Tim Spector, who co-authored the research. They reached their conclusions after a survey of more than 1,800 British women, all of whom were pairs of identical or non-identical twins. Identical twins share all their genes, while non-identical pairs share 50 per cent. If one identical twin reported having a G-spot, then her sister was more likely to give the same answer. But no such pattern emerged, suggesting the G-spot is a matter of the woman’s subjective opinion. Andrea Burri, who led the research, said, “It is rather irresponsible to claim the existence of an entity that has never really been proven and pressurise women — and men too.” And British journalist Rowan Pelling agrees. “It’s no longer enough to have a career, a family, perfect hair and the ability to squeeze into tight jeans,” she wrote a few years ago. “The bar had been raised yet higher: no competent female could begin to have it all without a G-spot.”

Docs say it does But most doctors we spoke to rubbish such studies and insist the G-spot does exist. “The G-spot is an erogenous zone. No one can defy that it is a pleasure zone,” says Dr Deepak Jumani, sexual health physician. He claims that several scientific studies have said that that area has more nerve centres compared to the other parts of the vagina and when it is stimulated, there is arousal because of increased blood circulation. Dr Jumani is often confronted with queries regarding the elusive spot. “Women who haven’t found the G-spot yet claim it doesn’t exist,” says Dr Jumani. “But there are reasons for this. Smoking, excessive drinking and stress makes it difficult to find the G-spot.”

If you’re determined to find your G-spot... here’s the recommended route to take with him > Lie on your back and ensure you are well-lubricated. With his palm facing upwards, your partner should insert his index finger into your vagina. He should make a ‘beckoning’ movement, until his fingertip comes into contact with the front wall of your vagina.> He should then rub that area. If he is in the right zone, you will experience a desire to pee. Give it time and you’ll also experience considerable pleasure.
